It doesn't have the official label, isn't on the official ftp-master
and it releases a bit behind the official archs.

Good work, Steve. Just building the DVD's now, having downloaded the
jigdo files :)  Someone at work was telling me how impressed he was,
having moved to Sarge on his dual Opteron over the weekend - now I can
give him the media so that he can install it for everyone else :)

As ever, your CD/DVD provision rocks :)

Andy

Security.d.o may have been promised, but sarge/amd64 will not be
hosted within the official archive - Debian did not release amd64 with
sarge.

How exactly AMD64 is unofficial (apart for the use of uppercase) ?
Did not the security team and the SRM just agreed to support it ?
Is it not sufficient for the official label ?
